Title, but the long short of it all is that I love seasoning. Banana peppers, black pepper, taco seasoning, it brings some real life into the food I eat. Mostly ground beef, eggs, milk, kefir, and fruit. Salt doesn't do it justice for me.

How bad is it if I'm adding seasonings to my diet? What's the oxalate load on seasonings? This obviously isn't an easy answer because various seasonings have different loads and plant defense chemicals, but I like spice, and I want to know if I can get 80% of the way there with AB without giving up seasoning (at least until I have the time to really start delving into some much better recipes and ways of cooking AB).

Obviously I need to be careful with th

As a Bard main, I can confidently say that all of the tunes are awful and hurt my ears to listen to. There are 100s of beautiful songs from games that do not grate my ears, and the ones provided are none of them.

If I could write my own music, I can make it not awful, and provide the tunes necessary for proper dungeon crawling for any who wander into my path. Currently all I can provide is a headache and some free loot to anyone who can pick up a hammer and bonk me. Whether or not Bard should be able to defend herself is beside the point. I am a rockstar with the musical equivalent of playing "Hot Cross Buns" on my enemies, whereas I should be playing Wonderwall.

Howdy y'all,

I'm am trying to build a solar collector that can heat up water for steam without concentrating sunlight. Found a really neat article on it (that I completely lost) describing how a material with high absorptivity but low emissivity can reach very high temperatues (assuming it has optically clear insulation for sunlight). This temperature can then be used to heat water into steam for a steam turbine. The article goes into more detail regarding insulation, but I am just looking for the middle layer right now, which is the high absorption and low emissive layer.

I'm having some trouble finding a cheap material to even try this out with. Sure, I can buy some black anodized steel

Title, not sure if I am able to acquire anything better than a 3070 at this time. As I understand, the 8K X generally needs a bit more VRAM than the 3070 offers (usually 8GB). However, if I were to use the upscaled mode, which reduces the 4K to 2K per eye and upscales, would this work with the 3070's lesser VRAM?

I intend on using this mode for the most part anyways, because I want to use the high Hz associated with it. I might be persuaded to downgrade to the 5K Super, but I understand that the 8K X has both a massive FOV (200 degrees) and can maintain the 114 Hz in Upscaled mode at the same time. This is a huge advantage over the 5K Super, since it cannot have 180 Hz AND the FOV at 200.

If hypothetically Trezor wanted to, is there some way they could steal the coins I have stored in their wallet?

I realize this is my wallet, and that I could recreate the wallet in other systems, but since I receive software updates from the website, what is to prevent them from sending an update to have the wallet automatically send my coins away?

Is this a reasonable concern? Obviously, news of this would get out, but some people might think it is worth it to destroy a company's reputation in exchange for thousands of BTC (or however much BTC they could steal), especially 20 years from now.

Howdy y'all,

I've been paper trading to get feet wet and determine viability of certain strategies. I'm selling a bull spread on SPY. In this example, I've sold a 348/349 Bull Spread for next Monday, at a limit price of -0.07. It shows an AVG PX of -0.05, with a tiny 9 after that. I'm assuming it has sold at -0.06 each. I understand these negatives mean I'm "buying" it for a credit.

Why does it not sell at -0.07 like I set it to?

I'm actually looking for your advice on this theoretical long term play. It's kind of like the Wheel, in that it has calls and puts, but it's not really like the Wheel. Imagine a set of money in SPY. We sell Calls on this, preferably at 0.2 delta, because unlike most people I'm actually trying not to get caught ITM.

We also sell Puts, also at some delta (probably 0.2) These Puts can go anywhere in the world, as long as it's not a terrible idea. Like AAPL. Everyone likes AAPL. AAPL will always be here, since it has an iron thumb on the entire world's phone addictions. We sell Puts on AAPL, and wowee guys, assuming a 5% growth for both calls and puts each and 10% for SPY, we've managed to ge

Howdy y'all,

I'm thinking of buying the SPY and selling long OTM calls to improve ROI in my long term retirement accounts. Obviously, the idea is the OTM Premium will be profit and will be much larger over the long term than any loss earned from exercise.

I'd like to combine this with two other things

1.) Margin, at a rate of about 1.6-1.0 (53% max drawdown ((drawdown of SPY in 2008 housing crash ((( what the Buffett uses))) )) ), to increase the amount of stock owned, and therefore calls sold.

2.) Using the portfolio value to secure puts that can be sold on high value stocks like AAPL, MSFT, or NVDA. This is like running a straddle on SPY, except I've divorced the downside risk onto an

I've been hearing about this subreddit for awhile, and I've started to seriously look into it. It seems to me that someone could reasonably set up some sold calls and puts to gather at least 1 or 2% every week, but thru the magic of compound interest we find that 2% a week actually turns into about 180% effective annual interest yearly.

That's pretty good, and considering only the stupid or lucky manage to triple their portfolio on WSB, this seems like a good compromise. But something like this probably has a catch.

So I'm here, asking the community what sort of numbers they've managed to pull over time. I've been screwed too many times on WSB to seriously YOLO everything away, so I'm here

I was reading on Reddit about global megaprojects, and the Title was mentioned. Specifically it was in the context of having a massive solar panel system and that it was feasible to "beam" it down to Earth, which sounds both sci-fi and ridiculous. Please and thanks for the Education.

Title, but the real question is do they care? Like, if they notice, are they going to tell me to stop? The bot I'm intending to make really won't be making much trades at all, and really just waits for a very specific set of indicators to go off. I'm not going to stare at the stock prices for hours on end waiting for this very specific thing to happen.

For example, I know Robinhood cares enough to send people messages and stop them from using the unofficial API if they detect the bot (Not sure how they do, but still.)

I'm about to set one up, since I'm already settled into Webull and Interactive Brokers is being a pain and rejecting my application with them. Figured I'd ask the commu
